Christian Religious Studies, listed as CRS, is taught in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Lagos State University. This page covers the O’Level credits, the UTME combination, two sets of LASU waiver remarks and the JAMB score.
The waiver remarks carry most of the detail on this course. They set out how many sittings LASU will accept, what an A level or NCE route looks like, and how those routes sit alongside the UTME conditions.
LASU was established in 1983 by an enabling Law of Lagos State to advance learning and academic excellence. It stands in Ojo and remains the only state university in the former British colony, with over 35,000 full-time students.
The university offers diploma, degree and postgraduate programmes, including an MBA. The requirements below apply to the regular undergraduate route into CRS.

Sittings and Routes in LASU Christian Religious Studies
Two O’Level statements appear on this page. The general line asks for five SSC credit passes in English Language, CRS and three other relevant subjects, while the LASU remark asks only for five credits including English Language.
Both are left in place because they govern different things. The general line describes the subject shape of a CRS application, and the LASU remark sets the minimum the university itself enforces.
The sittings rule is the detail most candidates miss. LASU accepts the five O’Level credits across not more than two sittings, and applies the same two sitting limit to A level passes.
Two advanced routes are listed. Two A level passes including CRS or Religious Studies, or an NCE merit in CRS, each combined with five O’Level credits including English Language. LASU also requires the UTME conditions to be met on both.
The JAMB screening threshold at LASU is 160. If your O’Level credits are spread across three or more sittings, resolve that before applying, because it is a condition LASU states plainly.
